I learned that everything relays on each other. When we were watching a video in class it said if you keep taking away animals all of them will die. the fish relay on the water and food. the grass relayed on soil and water. the snails relayed on the algae for food. I LOVED this project even though the fish died it was still really fun.

Eco-columns
Our class was learning about Eco-coloums. We got to make A mini Eco-columns. Inside of them they had fish and snails on the bottom part. There was also algae and some other plants. on the top part there was baby grasshoppers and we planted grass on the top.we got to feed the fish and my partner and I put our hand on the thing that held the fish and the fish followed our finger.

All about our eco-columns
What we did in this unit is that we did in the lab. We first stated making our eco-columns we started with the aquarium but first before that we had to cut three bottles. Then put water in the bottles (don't try it the are hard to make in the way you need the bottles to be cut in a weird way.) Then we put in the water, gravle, duckweed, muck, eldoea, snails and then thats it.
I learned that the pH scale is inportant if it is to low it's kills all sorts of stuff and if it's high like 9 or 12 which is super high. If it's 7 or 6 it is good for fish. High or low it kills animals in eggs. So we want to help the Puget Sound and keep it at 7 which is better for animals then 6.
Now do you know more about the pH scale?

My partner in the eco column unit was beloria. We made a eco column and it had a terrarium and an aquarium and in between we had a connecter tube.I think it went very well we had a lot of fun. We learned alot about ecosystems and we had to catch our own bugs which means we had to go outside it was really cold and we ha to dig around and find bugs when i found my slug it looked like a snake.
I learned that in ecosystems all the animals or organisms rely on each other and without one alot of the other ones die. Pollution is very bad for the ecosystem some types of pollution is like animal waste, trash that people leave or dump on the street, oil spills, soap from cars that you wash in your driveway. These are all very bad for the ecosystem but we can all make a difference if we try. We also learned about PH levels too high of a PH level can be bad but too low of a PH level can also bad.
An ecosystem is a place where a lot of organisms live. Making a ecocolumn helped me understand because I saw how all the organisms relied on each other and i saw how important it was for them to get all the sunshine they needed and water they needed.Our eco column

Our Eco-columns
Our class made Eco-columns.
My Eco-columns has changed because our Elodea have started to die ever since we got our snails. I think this is happening because the snails may have eaten the Elodea. everything in our Terrarium has died I think the slug has trapped the animals trapped as ln between the soil and the slime so it can not breath. Our slug has escaped somehow from one said of the plastic (our terrarium) to the other side (underneath the terrarium). Our Fish has also died and is laying at the bottom of our aquarium.
I think the seeds/grass rely on the soil to live. For example, The plants need the nutrients in the soil to live. The snails need the gravel to have a surface. The fish needs the water to live. For example, The fish can't breath out of water so it needs the water. The plants need the fish because the fish breath out carbon dioxide and the plants breathe in carbon dioxide. The fish need the plants because the plants breathe out oxygen and the fish breathe in oxygen.
